Chateau de la Tour Clos Vougeot 'Hommage a Jean Morin' Grand Cru 2019 - Magnum

1 unit available online.
Product description

Located in a small subregion called Vougeot in the Cote de Nuits of Burgundy, Domaine Chateau de la Tour makes high-quality red Burgundy, including Hommage a Jean Morin Grand Cru. Domaine Chateau de la Tour wines are known for being complex in flavor. The estate’s most famous label, Hommage a Jean Morin, is not only known for its complexity, but also for being extremely rare, only produced in years when the quality of the fruit is particularly high.

Dark red with ruby tones, the wine's chocolatey ripeness takes on compelling floral lift and lively thyme and sage notes with time in the glass. A wonderfully silky, creamy Clos Vougeot with outstanding inner-mouth lift to its dark fruit and mineral flavors complicated by wild herbs and spices. This hugely dense wine finishes with massive but noble late-arriving tannins and explosive building length. Very few grand cru Burgundies manage such a combination of velvety texture and energy.

95+ Points - Robert Parker's Wine Advocate     The Clos Vougeot Grand Cru Hommage a Jean Morin unwinds in the glass with notes of plums, smoky berry fruit, rich soil tones, spices, orange rind and cherries. Full-bodied, layered and concentrated, it's deep and textural, with prodigious reserves of fruit and rich, powdery tannin. Lively and perfumed, I can't wait to revisit it in bottle.
